Social networking is the use of Internet-based social media sites to stay connected with friends, family, colleagues, customers, or clients. A blog is an online journal or informational website displaying information in reverse chronological order, with the latest posts appearing first.
Social Networks
Social networking is a way of using your computer to communicate to other people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections.

Blogs
'Blog' is short for 'web log' – basically an online diary or journal created by someone to record in writing their thoughts, feelings or views on a specific subject or on life in general.
Usually appearing in chronological order, with the most recent post at the top, a blog can be informative, amusing and often contentious (and sometimes quite tedious). It can contain photographs, cartoons or just text.
It can also have links to other websites or blogs – either ones on similar subjects or ones that are just liked by the blogger and recommended to anyone interested.
Detailed instructions and advice on starting and managing a blog are available at the following links:
